The chapters in this collection illustrate how researchers, clinicians and policy makers drew inspiration from divergent fields of knowledge and practice: from eugenics, genetics and medication to mental hygiene, child guidance, social welfare, public health and education; from risk management to radical and social psychiatry, architectural design and environmental psychology. It highlights the shifting patterns of biological, social and psychodynamic models, while adopting a gender perspective and considering professional developments as well as changing social and legal contexts, including deinstitutionalisation and social movements. Through vigorous research, the contributors demonstrate that preventive approaches to mental health have a long history, and point to the conclusion that it might well be possible to learn from such historical attempts. The book also explores which of these approaches are worth considering in future and which are best confined to the past. Within this context, the book aims at stoking and informing debate and conversation about how to prevent mental illness and improve mental health in the years to come.  aAll rights reserveduhttp://oapen.org/content/about-rights  aEnglish 7aMental health services2bicssc  apreventing; mental illness1 aKritsotaki, Despo4oth1 aLong, Vicky4edt1 aLong, Vicky4oth1 aSmith, Matthew4edt1 aSmith, Matthew4oth0 aDOAB Library.40uhttps://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/6817870zFree-to-read: DOAB: description of the publication  c92798d92798
